Laura was in very good shape for a patient needing ADR when we rode the trains, but she did so with no problems at all. We went second class, chairs in an open area rather than an enclosed cabin in first. The movement of the train is considerably less than mild turbulence on an airplane. Stops were a bit more significant but you can stand as the train comes in and starts moving again. I'd imagine first class might also allow you to strech out which would further reduce the effect of movement.

If you are really sensitive to movements, I would suggest that you not do some of the more interesting ideas to cut airfare costs, however. We've gone so far as to compare costs of flying into hub cities like Amsterdam and using the night train, essentially a train-based mobile hotel room, to get to Munich. So far it hasn't saved enough to be worthwhile but that's probably too much for someone sensitive to movement.
